But I do agree 46 points is out of hand, and the Engine still needs a lot of work.

Congrats on the National Championship jmjtrain. I hope you didn't take my comments as sour grapes against you. It was the margin of defeat, and how often huge unexplainable margins have been popping up in this new engine, that bothered me so much. I remember that the old engine used to have a huge penalty for playing a SG more than one position away (ie at PF). I guess that's no longer the case.
You should be proud of your national Championship. It's still eluded me with this id which probably added to my frustration ;-)

No worries. The whole "gimmick" thing is what caught my attention.

what reb did your sf have?

Sf - Boice - Reb=29

Here is my roster:

I have to say that many teams in the NCAA play a 4 guard, 1 PF offense now ... not sure it is a gimmick.

In the old engine, guards rarely got more than 3 or 4 rebounds per game, even those with good rebounding ratings for their level of play. I was in favor of giving them more chances, yes, especially off 3-pointers and contested shots that are bound to clang off the rim and go flying further than better looks. But, as WIS did with recruit generation and outside shooting, they went too far with it in the other direction, and rebounding as a whole needs to be looked at and changed significantly. Good to see Seble plans to do that, and I really hope it produces a desirable outcome.
